Water Rockets I (Introductory)

Everyone experimenting with water rockets should have this program! Topics include safety, building launch pads, investigating variables such as amount of water, pressure, launch angle and physical designs. See competitions for height, distance and survival of the "egg astronaut". Demonstrate many physics concepts in a fun, and exciting way!

The in-depth teacher handbook covers water rocket safety, suggestions and tips. Lesson plans, diagrams, projects and instructional information cover Newton's laws, finding altitude, using free fall formulas, rocket velocity, the Law of Sines, and Hooke's Law.
